"A easy-to-make inexpensive potato salad. The homemade dressing for this is really good and I feel what makes it so good, and works equally well with macaroni salad. This is my mom's recipe, and her mom made it before her. I use about 6 hard-boiled eggs because I like my potato salad with more eggs. The prep and cook time is only a estimate, as I've never timed how long it takes to make this.If you use mayo instead of Miracle Whip I'd suggest starting with only 1 T. sugar and adding more to taste as mayo is sweeter than Miracle Whip.And of course please feel free to adapt this recipe ingredient-wise to your familie's preferences."

This was my first attempt at making a homemade potato salad. I opted for this one because it was the first that I had all the ingredients for.I used yellow prepared mustard instead of mustard seed (wasn't sure which one the recipe needed, it wasn't specified.)End result was decent, everyone liked it.

Very tasty, although it did indeed feel kind of weird cooking the sauce for a potato salad! Once combined, the potato salad seemed to have too much sauce, so I boiled up a few new potatoes that I had on hand and added them. I would say that I used more like 7 cups of cubed potatoes. I also subbed green onions for the onion, and also had the eggs "cook" on me when I first started combining the sauce. I just scooped out the larger chunks and kept on cooking!

I've made this twice now, both times with wonderful success. I love this salad! For those who were like me -- thinking, "A potato salad recipe, who needs a recipe for potato salad? I know how to make potato salad!" -- please reconsider and try this. The first time out, I followed the recipe exactly; the second time I fine-tuned it to my preferences (which include adding chopped radishes, using green onion instead of regular onion, and adding way more chopped hard-boiled egg). Both times I used regular Hellmans mayo. As some reviewers have noted, this leans towards the sweet rather than the tangy, but I didn't find it overly sweet at all. This suits my tastes, I guess. I'll be making this for years to come; thanks to you and your mom for sharing!

Thanks for checking out my about me page. Jeff is my husband of 8 years. We have 1 dog that someone dropped off at the side of the road and I brought home, and she rules the house. I love dogs, and hate to see a dog tied up and forgotten. I love to grow different kinds of tomatoes from seed to can, and give the "extras" away (when I'm working and don't have time to can).
